Although I refuse to say that I am guilty for violating criminal law
for publishing Indonesia Playboy magazine,
it never crossed my mind to run away or to try to avoid the two-year
prison sentence handed down to me by the Supreme Court. I am a good citizen who respects the law in Indonesia.

On Saturday, October 9, 2010, I went to Jakarta with my lawyer, Todung Mulya Lubis, to be taken into custody and to begin my sentence. This was in compliance with an agreement made between my lawyer and the prosecution, according to which I was to be taken to the prosecutor's office that afternoon by Lubis and the Press Council.

Erwin Arnada turned himself in to
authorities at Cipinang prison in East Jakarta
on October 9 to start serving a two-year sentence for public indecency. His conviction stemmed from pictures he published in a 2006 issue of the now-defunct
Indonesian edition of Playboy
magazine. On September 30, CPJ called on President Susilo Bambang
Yudhoyono and Supreme Court Chief Justice Harifin Tumpa to allow Arnada to
remain free while the Court heard his appeal.

Dear President Yudhoyono: We are greatly concerned about the case of Erwin Arnada, the editor of Indonesia's defunct version of Playboy magazine, who was sentenced to two years in prison for indecency by the Supreme Court. The court tried the case on an appeal from the attorney general's office in July 2009 and some time after that sentenced Arnada to two years in prison for public indecency for publishing purportedly indecent pictures in a 2006 issue of the magazine. The magazine closed in mid-2007 after printing 10 issues.
